#JamesBay #HoldBackTheRiver - Hudba
I lost my dad 2 months ago. I'm in the end of my senior year of high school. I'm 17 and I never excepted to lose my dad. I thought Senior Year was the the last year to be a kid while you still are discovering who you want to become. I had a very close relationship with my dad, and I never expected him to die. He was diagnosed February 2018 with stage 4 esophageal cancer. It was hard seeing him for 10 months going from better to worse, not knowing how to help him. There would be times he would shows signs of recovery and then he showed signs of no recovery. I'm going through a lot of depression right now and I'm just missing my dad a lot. I came across this song on my Pandora and I completely related to the lyrics right away. The line "Trying to keep you close to me while life got in between" makes me think that I had no control over my dad's fate. It was God's plan for my dad and I know I will see him again. Maybe not in this life, but in the next.
melody moss hey I’m sorry to hear that I can’t even imagine what I will when mine dies but I do know that it will get better and I know you’ve probably heard that a lot but still it’s true and I’m positive that you’re dad is really proud of you and would want you to spend your time as happily as you can because we don’t know how much we all have but we should spend it not missing the people we’ve lost but planning for the next time we see them so we have happy and good memories to share with them as they smile at all our stories so you should start planning the memories you’ll share instead of missing them and I hope it helps and I know that we’ll never truly get over them but at least we won’t have to tell them all we ever did was miss them because if we did they wouldn’t want us to spend it that way the would want us to be happy so I send my best wishes for the life of happy memories ahead and the stories you’ll share with your father the next time you meet
Stay Strong you can and will get through this with God and your dad by your side! My dad has blood cancer with no cure and it’s scary not knowing how long he has left to live. Hope can be the greatest comfort in times like these when you’ve lost some one completely or to a debilitating illness. Stay strong I will be praying for you! Lots of warm hugs xx
Respect
I understand your pain.. I lost my dad my senior year also.. It is a hard thing to go through during that time.. He is watching over u and will always be there.. Just remember all he taught u and do your best.
enjoy evey moment try not to thing about it greetings from greece
My daughter fought leukaemia for two years. She was in a very dark place as I was. Her resilience was amazing. I listened to this song over and over again getting inspiration for the fight. Courtney is now 12 months in remission. James Bay's brilliance bought me hope and joy at a time where it was so hard to find. Thanks James.
Is right lad
Thank you for sharing that God bless you and your family
Bless you and your daughter always
God bless you, this mealts my heart.
Wonderful news that your daughter is doing well 💓
I'm a 58 year old man at the end of a life I struggle to come to terms with. I don't sleep much anymore because of the idea of leaving my children behind . I was wanting to listen to something new while I was having another sleepless night and I ran across what I now consider the most beautiful song I have ever had the privilege of hearing. I thank God for taking me to the only song that has ever touched me and gave me such a desperately needed sense of calm. Thank you for sharing your gift with me and the whole world. God bless you and please never stop.
We are just strangers on the internet, but I truly hope God blesses you and gives you peace.
I know it must be scary..but some of the beauty of or in life comes from the fact that it ends hence making the present what requires our focus 😃..your strength is also something as rare as this kind of touching music..Be blessed sir
Your replies mean more to me than you can imagine, thank you so much.
JESUS LOVE YOU ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The best song on PES 2017💚
lyrics
Tried to keep you close to me
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But think that I should have been
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we crawl against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold oho, oho
Oho, oho
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
WOW :O
Thanks for the lyrics, man
Wow
Thank U lyric person
thank you
Hold Back The River"
Tried to keep you close to me,
But life got in between
Tried to square not being in there
But think that I should've been
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we're caught against the tide
Those distant days all flashing by
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Oh, oho, oho, oho, oho
Oho, oho, oho, oho
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other

+Vivana Quintero thank you! :D
Thank you :3

Thank you

I miss these days 😢music is the closest thing we have to a Time Machine
Yeh🥺
music and poems
@@zayn1dshorts😅😅
I guess art in general is
The media have transformed our world in to that bullshit. Toxicity, badness and everyone wants to eat your brains.
The old songs make me forget the stupid prototypes, for instance cardi b do you know what the hedd she says to kids to do? You want it or not tate is the dad all of the guys need to be raised with hard work and pain. Pain makes good people
This song brings me back to the good old days. Just beautiful.
Jesus Christ is God and loves you read the Holy Bible :) He died for ur sins and rose again. Share the good news. The grace of the LORD be with you. Jesus Christ is LORD
6 years since this masterpiece was dropped but still get the chills whenever i listen to this!
:')
Ok
Masterpiece indeed
I remember this I would be dancing and running around and this song was playing when I was 5
As soon as he started to sing I got chills I swear
This is such a good song
*-*
Yay
Koomby I agree
It's 8 years old but still as touching, ethereal & captivating as ever. A modern-day masterpiece.
This song always makes me sad, not because of the lyrics, but because It was me and my best friends favorite song, and I was listening to it hours before she passed away, which really fucked me up, and I just cry every time I listen to it
so sad to hear it. I can feel you...
Samera A Stay Strong , I'm Sure She's Watching Over You ((:
im so sorry. this is a really good song and I had a few songs that have been ruined for me. I know that feeling. 💗💗
sorry for your loss.
Samera A
2020, still here, still a banger 🤩
I cant agree with you more than 10 out off 10
Imogen White yup 💯
6 year’s later still bomb
hell yeah
Very good
We don't look for old songs. We search for memories. ❤
Is the "we" you speak of in the room with you George?🤔😉
Timeless classic masterpiece...
Yes, it is indeed a masterpiece
I found this guy by accident and i'm so fucking glad I did.
darudesendsterm
Me 2
so did I!
Same
Fucking prik
I can't believe this came out in 2014. Seems like just yesterday.
yeah br it's a good clip
Truuuu
@@juniperjuniper7741 yeah. Time flies.
Oh man...I was on vacation with my dad when the song just came out. I remember being unable to stop listening to it while spending some awesome time in the mountains
@@PileOfLeafes Nice. Cherish those memories and make new ones.
King Bob….
Loves this song
Still listen to this amazing song✨
Takes me back to PES 2017.. Awesome tune ❤🔥
The fact that this comment section is alive after 6+ years is amazing
Lokey though
Pretty cool tbh
Factttssss
Love it how you are commenting this everywhere
As of May 21 listening I forgot about him then remembered his songs again !
It's been 7y and its still a master piece!
Who's still listening
Every man has a song they keep private for those moments when you need to just have a cry and you need help getting it out, this is one of mine.
+1
Dude Hozier and James Bay should make a song.
YES, YES I AGREE ON SO MUCH LEVELS
+Anonymous YES YES YES YES YES YES PLS
Awesome
+Anonymous this needs to happen. IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN DEFINITELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Anonymous EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
James Bay is my new Ed Sheeran. Love love this guy. I bought his album "Chaos and the Calm" on iTunes.
Me too...... I am not loving Ed anymore since he became mainstream. Loved me Ed from his early CZcams days. But I can't hate on his success. I really am happy for him but sad that what I fell in love with is gone.
i love James but i can never get over Ed ....😊Ed Sheeran till the end🙌🙌
+Hasta Luego thats really cool man
James is better 😒
+Mayer Hemmings No one is better. Everyone fairly talented in their own way *wink*
Just bumped into this song and I was like,"wait a minute!"7years already and still loving it 👏
I've replayed this 4 times already
Yea... Still amazing 👏 😍
Jesus Christ is God and loves you read the Holy Bible :) He died for ur sins and rose again. Share the good news. The grace of the LORD be with you. Jesus Christ is LORD
Lol.
I just found this. Instantly see this is great.
Very special song, actually the whole Chaos And The Calm album is very special to me. Takes me back to some of the best moments of my life and to the best people and person I've ever met, I miss those times so much. Forever grateful for this album even though sometimes it makes me feel kinda emotional when I listen to this and think back to then. An absolute incredible album and one of my all time favourite albums 😊
Jesus Christ is God and loves you read the Holy Bible :) He died for ur sins and rose again. Share the good news. The grace of the LORD be with you. Jesus Christ is LORD
I took me five years to realise that river is metaphor for tears
Ginnell Kyere I didn’t even know till I read your comment😭😭💀
thank you, i was wondering
No no. It's a metaphor for time here. To stop time, or at least slow it down.
cavin k that's just my interpretation
@@KC-xp8kj i think the same..And the lonely water is death coming..
2014- i'm here
2015- i'm here
2016- i' m here
2017 i'm here
2018- i'm here
2019- i'm here
2020- i'm here (covid 19 times)
2021- im still hereee (covid 19 times still :(
💖💕💖💕💖💕
Cool 👍👍
YEP bad life for everyone
Wow♥️
I had a like on this video from 5 years ago..just shows you how incredible this song truly is
As I go through a difficult break up , this song brings me comfort in knowing that i'll be okay ..
why yall broke up
Oui.
You got it bro 👍🏻
I've had a difficult breakup in my life too. It feels terrible, I know, so I wish you to live through all pain successfully and become happy again
It helped me after I broke up with someone. Good luck.
My son is 12 now but when he was about 3 years old…when this song came on ? Air guitar and his dads hat. So cool even back then. He lost his dad in 2013 a year after he was born. He only got one birthday and one Christmas….but his dad ? His hero. This was one of his dad’s favourites. My wee hero along with his big sister. ❤
Heartbreaking 💔
8 years later and this song is still not losing it's vibe. LOVE IT!
Same here 😁
Same😌
yeees, so true
Yooo this man Living in the future
It'll never loose it's vibe
My favorite part is 'Once upon a different life, we rode our bikes into the sky'. My older sister and I did, so whenever I hear those lines, it reminds me of being young and innocent and being able to have stupid fun. I miss that.
Makes me think of radio flyer 😒
Yes at the back of the fish and chips shop in the alley in Blackpool. I was like 3 years old 🥺
Such an underrated artist. He is amazing
czcams.com/video/qRL3LwBJ0ms/video.html
the melody stolen, underrated artist is Mr. Šteidl
hi! my dance group and i used this at our compettition and it was theme romeo and juliet! we are "juliet's """""funeral""""" (the fake one) and today is the show wish me luck!
( not looking for sympathy ) my dad died 3 months ago and this was a song he always listened to, I never listened to it until now. But I’m glad I listened to it cause it is a beautiful song
Eimear Sweeney I am so sorry I lost my uncle a few months and this song reminds me of him!
I am so sorry ❤️🙏🏼
I'm sorry for your lost, me, I lost my grandma when I was like 9 y/o
I'm very sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear about your dad..
I just found out my cousin is the drummer for this guy, I feel so important rn :') great song
Wow!! He is SUPER good!!!😁😁😁
Anna Olivia good and you have the same name as me
May Morgan mmm I smell bullshit
See u again
Jackson Travis i agree. bullshit is in the air, ladies and gentlemen.
goated song
Saturday, May 4:46 in South Africa we are still listening......
Me: trying to sleep
My brain at 3am: hOlD bACk tHE rIvER
Same lmao😂😂
Lmao😂 mine the whole night
Matheus Anciloto no joke that is the exact reason i’m here
Yeap! Me too!
😂 idk why this comment made me laugh so much
I will never be tired of this song and I am so much older now
You really don’t know what you have until it’s gone… Miss you Nandhini❤
For anyone who is reading this:
(This song made me think of this)
Think what u have with u. What u love and who u want to be. Always know that there is someone who has it worse than u. Try to help. Be grateful for everything u have. Don't dwell on the bad things. If your struggling in life now there's a reason for it and u will be happy. And lastly remember this, THIS LIFE WAS GIVEN TO YOU BECAUSE SOMEONE KNEW YOU COULD LIVE THROUGH IT.
adair ela thank u :)
✌
No it wasn't, my life was given because mom wanted someone to pass the family name, that's all,and yea, life couls be worse, but it could be a lot better too, but, it is what it is

I remember singing this at the end of year 2 (grade 1) for an assembly. Whenever I hear it it takes me back. ❤️❤️ Going into year 10 (grade 9) in September. Time flies.
Jesus Christ is God and loves you read the Holy Bible :) He died for ur sins and rose again. Share the good news. The grace of the LORD be with you. Jesus Christ is LORD
I used to take my youngest daughter on “River Walks” on a path behind our home and I would play this song with her. I would pull her in a wagon or on a sled in the winter when there would be snow. My wife divorced me and we had to move from the area. I don’t see her much. She is grown now and we returned today to these paths and took another River Walk. I feel she was taken from me but the memories of these walks can’t be. I never thought of the meaning of the lyrics until today. It was difficult to maintain my composure during the walk.
Courtney's determination is unparalleled. James' music encapsulates hope. Next week we go for 12 months remission. Thank you so much for your comments of support. So much love in this world.
I hear cbd oil works wonders on some cancers...it fixed my gf cervical cancer!..
Tried to keep you close to me,
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But it's there that I should've been
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river,
So I can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we're caught against the tide
Those distant days all flashing by
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river,
So I can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river,
So I can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Oh, oho, oho, oho, oho
Oho, oho, oho, oho
Lonely water, lonely water,
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other?
Lonely water, lonely water,
Won't you let us wander?
Let us hold each other?
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river,
So I can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river,
So I can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river
Hold...
[Alternative line:] Hold back the river
[Acoustic version's line:] Hold back...
Lonely water, lonely water,
Won't you let us wonder?
Let us hold each other?
Lonely water, lonely water,
Won't you let us wonder?
Let us hold each other?
ABOOD ALSHAMI Thanks!

ABOOD ALSHAMI α
why not? :)
ABOOD ALSHAMI thank u :) have a nice day by the way :)
This song is SO sentimental to me. It’s a beautiful song but this was playing at my work when I heard the news that my boyfriend try to take his life with a gun. I actually thought I did loose him…because it felt as he was speaking to me through this song. Maybe he was.
song that was playing when my mom phoned me and let me know my dad lost his battle with cancer.. tear up everytime i hear it. that was 2018, fuck u cancer!!!, miss u dad :(
Johnny Deep + Harry Styles = James bay?
+ John Mayer 😂
Slightly hotter than Harry Styles tbh
+Myra Fischbach He's his son! hahahahaha
So true
+Penn Badgley from Gossip girl :D
Finally some contemporary music that's advertised on CZcams and ISN'T blaringly loud, obnoxious, philistine, auto tuned extrovert bullshit. He reminds me a little of Jeff Buckley.
Well said. I love you..
I love you
Auto tuned
Would you please look up the definition of extrovert before you say stuff like that?
thanks, now you make me cry.
Me and my son's mother's song. Even to this day makes me cry for some reason
Monday 27th May 2024 xxxxxxx thank you for your beautiful music
Great lyrics, it is a wonderful song! More likes, please! I don't understand why Katy Perry has so many likes with her easy songs and such songs are not appreciated to their true value!
The true quality/value of a song will be determined by future generations. Songs from decades ago that are still played on radios and spotify today are not all hits during their time. But their quality is undeniable that we don't want to stop playing them. Hope this one will last.
+Glen Gumban your comment reminded me of john f. kennedy for some reason :3
+Glen Gumban wow - powerful, true words. I am loving this song
+Da Silv3rb0nes agree - soulful
+Glen Gumban I hope that,too !
+Simona Serbanescu I can't stop myself playing this song.
best song of PES 2017.
alexF1-2005 True))
I first listened to this song when I played PES 2017 on my PS3. This song takes me back to those good moment when we were just kids and didn't need to worry about life... good and old times.
Even when I’m not listening this masterpiece, it’s never stopping sounds in my head. Loving it so so much.❤
🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥🕊️
for some reason this song makes me cry
i guess m not alone thanks (+sarah notsara) for saying that out loud ....#livingitloudinSouthAfrica
same
It makes me cry as well, every time. Its very weird wen it suddenly plays in a bar. But well.
dab
Sarah Gauthier
Me too.
I'm 58 years old ... every time I hear this music ... I can't stop dancing .... And feel happy!!
lol it makes me dance..
Fernando Deltoro I am 58 and this has been my favourite since the first time I heard it😀
Fernando Deltoro same apart from I'm not 58
Fernando Deltoro im going to be 19 and it still being my favourite song x)
Fernando Deltoro
Pes2017 xD
The Mask Singer made me search for this song. Never heard it til I watched Macaw performed it on the grand finally. Very touching lyrics. I love it.
I heard this music on stage maybe around 2013 in lisbon. It was a time that end in my life and another one that just get started. Another circles had closed and open for me. But this song remains in time. Our lifes always will have doors that are closed and others that will be opened. The teachers, the main ones, who really hurt us, will leads us to the greatest lessons. And we hold ourselfs. Theres only ourselfs to hold first
I cry whenever I hear this song
Quinn Stacey it's amazing how a song finds a purpose for something in someone. true emotion
HOLD BACK THE RIVER
Quinn Stacey same
Quinn Stacey me too
This is so wonderful I'm crying
I can't hold back the river
Lol
Its stunning isn't it!
ha gaaaaay
Stevie Robertson how would you know
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
is it only me or this song feel like wanting to live forever js be on this earth for life
When i just realized 2013 was 10 years ago, its not about the number i mention about, but the memories and the tragedy we have been through.
when i was 8 years old, i went on holiday with me, mum, dad, aunt and my little cousin whos like my best friend, this used to be my favourite song, that everytime the 5 of us went in the car i would beg my dad to put this song on so i could sing my heart out with the car roof down and driving through beautiful places with beautiful sunsets, this was5 years ago now, but not one of us will forget that holiday, so i would say this song describes my child hood like nothing else has. thank you james :)
My year 6 teacher played this at our leaver's assembly. Whenever I hear this I think of him and simpler times. Mr Thomas was the best and I hope wherever he is, he is well.
Me too.... S2
Stop making feel old🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely beautiful memory
Love this! ❤️

Am from Africa but I hear country music is good and guess who made me believe it was James , legendary masterpiece ❤
James Bay, George Ezra, Jake Bugg, Tom Odell, Lewis Watson, Laura Marling, Beans on Toast, Tom Rosenthal, Ben Howard, James Vincent McMorrow, Frank Turner, Luke Sital-Singh, Kodaline, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran, Nina Nesbitt, Lauren Aqualina, Chloe Howl, The 1975, Passenger... etc. British Music is so big!
Justin bieber's canadian
lars Kjetil Skeie Kodaline and James Vincent McMorrow are Irish not British.
dorsable Okay :) I'll remember that. Anyways, so many else from England! :P
Millietta Ireland isn't part of Great Britain (GB is England, Wales and Scotland)
Millietta Okay, Kodaline is from Ireland (not Northern Ireland) anyway which isn't part of the UK :)
I don’t need a calendar....
I have CZcams comments
😂
March 2020??
XD
Finally..... for those who played FIFA 14 those days would remember this song....
This song always calms me down when I feel bad.
Jesus Christ is God and loves you read the Holy Bible :) He died for ur sins and rose again. Share the good news. The grace of the LORD be with you. Jesus Christ is LORD
Such an amazing song, can't get enough of it.
I know, he is such a talented person. He's so good when he plays it Acoustic as well. Are you planning on making a cover or something? I'm like you I just can't get enough of it!
Peter Gergely finally decent music
Yes
Heißt
I love it every time I am in the car I sing to it
The past 2 months have been the roughest 2 months I've ever had... This song some how lifts my spirits

Epic song for many years to come !! ☝️👊💪💥🔥
The passion and deepness makes this artist different from rest, not for the fame but for the music 🙏🎶
Agreed certainly a coach of an artist & those around him. Applaud this soul ❤
Out of nowhere, this tune popped into my head today. Initially couldn’t work out what tune I was singing. Then I realised and felt compelled to come here!
Cannot believe it is 7 years already!
Same happened to me today!
@@sharonphelps 👍
This what happened to me today lol
@@mknasser7331 - 😄 👍
Lmao same, I hummed it to "Ok Google" and this came up with 21% probability, leeets go!
youtube is a time machine.
When we we're younger we wanted to grow, but now that we grew, we wish, we would be childs again, with no concerns, life was good.
1:33 FUN TO DRIVE
Pes 17 introduced me to this masterpiece ❤. Can't believe it's been 6 years since then. Time really flew.
I can’t believe this song is 7 yrs old ❤❤❤
This song hits so deeply.. Touching the soul.

This song brings back memories of simple times🥺😭
Yup. Can't really decide if it's a great or horrible feeling...
Amit Geismar
And that‘s exactly why this is the most amazing song I know, because I just don‘t know whether I wanna cry so hard but I often don’t know why or whether I am just happy with everything.
Yes..🥺
I think of my son, who died and cry just cry. For a while, i just couldn't hear this beautiful song, hold it close to my heart, always 💔
Who else miss 10's?

Hold back the river,
So I can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we're caught against the tide

his voice is just perfect and he himself is pure perfection
He sounds American, are his parents from US by any chance?
No he is English but sometimes accents will change when singing
There’s a handful of songs that I listened to several years ago as a man that was an addict, broken, sad, defeated, ashamed and exhausted from years or trying to portray someone who is “normal”. I love coming back to those same songs after years clean, In the best place I’ve ever been in (mentally, physically, emotionally, financially) and reflecting on where I was and where I’ve came. As much as I despise the person I was, the time I wasted and the people I hurt…I wouldn’t be me without those times of desperation.
Congratulations! Keep fighting the good fight
Same. "I'm fucking crazy, but I am free."
This should be getting hundreds of view. Love this song. I actually love James Bay. Let it go is one of my favs. ❤
RIP Pro Evolution Soccer. Such a fitting song for it's farewell.
It'll be 7 years soon, and I'm still here! Love this masterpiece
